According to the Tuscarawas

According to the Tuscarawas
Democrat, the veteran croakers
have been signally disappointed.
Democratic rule was to ruin the
country. A marked return of pros
perity has gladdened the year. Bus
mess was to have been paralyzed
by the silver coinage. The finan-
cial status of the country is more
than ever the envy of the world.
Sectional animosities were to have
been aroused by the party in pow
er. There has come about an era
of good feeling that has a SAVIOR OF
fold-time fraternity. Nor anarchy
nor corruption, nor mobs, nor in
dustrial conflicts, MOI sectional in
terests, nor monopoly's greed, mol
plutocrat's arrogance, MOI radical
change of government, nor mistak-
en- financial policies have served to
turn the nation from the way Of
progress, prosperity and happiness
The Republic of 1887 is stronger
and safer than ever.

Arthur's administration was the
cleanest in the history of the Re-
publican party. The expense of
running the government the first
year of Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
ton was $~177,SS7.97 less than the
last year of Mr.. Arthur's admins
tration. What volumes this speaks
for honesty and economy! The
surplus in the Treasury July l.,
1856, was $3O,492, 817.29 more than
on July I, 1885.

The New York Times, a Repub-
lican newspaper of commanding
influence, very truthfully says that
there could be no shorter-sighted
politics than that avowed by Sen
ator ingalls, as the ground for OPP
posing the confirmation of Mat
thews. 1t is based on the assump-
ton that the negroes are bound by
gratitude and self-interest to one
political party, and are not entitled
to the common right of American
citizens to choose their own party
affiliations. It is a denial at once
of their capacity and their right to
exercise the privilege Of the suf-
frage freely, in spite of the profess
sions of the last twenty years.
Such a declaration by an act that
speaks louder than words will not
be simply impotent to stay the ten
dency toward a division of the col
ored vote, but it will give a new i'm
pulse to that tendency. 1t will
show the negroes that their politi-
cal emancipation is not complete.
and cannot be SO until they exer-
else the privilege of voting with eli.
ther party in accordance with the
same motives that divide white men.

The Indiana political troubles
are not settled yet, and from pres
ent appearances will not be for
several days and probably weeks.
The whole business there is rascal
ly and a disgrace to both parties,
as neither side in the contest has
shown any regard for either law or
the constitution, both being will
ling to make use of any means,
right or wrong, to accomplish the
election of a United States Sena-
tor. The Democrats had a major
ity of two on joint ballot and were
clearly entitled to chose a Demo
cratic Senator. The Republicans
instead of acquiescing began to
contrive plans to overcome that
majority by throwing out a suffi-
cient number of Democratic mem
bers. They never considered the
right or wrong of the proposed ac-
ton, or took any thought of the
Justice or the injustice Of it. They
simply resolved to throw them
out. That was the first wrong and
all the rest has come out of it,

4 decision of wide interest to

A decision of wide interest to
travellers has been rendered by the
Massachusetts, Supreme Court.
When passengers are robbed at
night in a sleeping car the court
holds that the sleeping a compa-
ny is liable for the loss. "The
company" says Chief Justice Nor
ton, "holds itself out to the world
as furnishing safe and comfortable
cars, and when it sells a ticket it
implicitly stipulates to do SO. It is
its duty to use reasonable means
to guard the passenger against
theft and if through want of care
the personal effects of a passenger,
such as he might reasonably carry
with him, are stolen, the company
is liable. Such a rule is required
by public policy and by the inter
ests of both the passenger and the
company"
What a glorious record Mr.
Cleveland is making for himself
and the Democracy. The consti-
tuition is upheld, the laws are re-
spected, the glorious destiny of the
country is advancing as it has not
before for a quarter of a century,
and the American Republic is pros
pering under a patriotic Demo-
cratic President. His wisdom, his
courage and his Democracy will
be endorsed by the whole people.
A Cincinnati evening paper is
responsible for the story that John
r. Mclean and M. Halstead OF
Cincinnati, and Henry Watterson
of Louisville, are in league to de-
feat President Cleveland for renom-

it is said, is pledged to use every
exertion to crush out mugwump-
cry in both parties by supporting
Blaine. How much truth there is
in the story remains to be seen by
future developments.

The formal report of the earth
quake relief committee to the
Charleston Common Council, in
which about $94O, 900 is accounted
for, affords a good illustration of
how much smaller and more friend
ly the world has been made with
the ~perfecting of modes of commu-
nication. When, for instance, Yer
mont heard of the Charleston earth
quake she forwarded $500, and
when at the same time the sad
news reached Shanghai by cable
that oriental city forwarded a like
amount. Canada and Nebraska
sent similar amounts so did Eng
land and Geofgia-$15,O00. The
state of New York stands at the
head of the list, with a total con-
tribution of $4,000, which is con-
~siderably more than the Grant
monument fund, and snug little
Massachusetts, stands next with
$99,800 for the sufferers. Next
comes Pennsylvania with $4,000
Maryland with 500 900, California
with $4,000 and South Carolina
itself with $4,000. There will be
about 100000 left in the hands Of
the relief committee, and it is the
purpose of the city to use it in re.
building the city hospitals and
almshouse.

that I happen to find in his album and had I all the photograph albums in the state of Kentucky to pick from, I could not select three men more worthy of place in an article on Kentucky progress than these three, all of whom are devoting their time and energies to opening up and devel- oping eastern Kentucky. Mir. H.n- drick is only thirty-two years old, but has been for several years one of the foremost lawyers of the state. Colonel Hamilton is but little older than Mir. Hendrick, and is one of the largest breeders of fine stock, and the very largest planter of tobacco in all 'the Bluegrass" He was the pioneer planter in this section of the now world renowned "White Burley" va- riety of the fragrant weed. He was much talked about for lieutenant-gov- ernor last year, but very wisely stuck to his business instead of making the canvass. He is stepson of that prince of Kentucky gentlemen, General John $. Williams, recently senator i'll con- gress.
 What is very remarkable about these three young gentlemen is that, while they are perhaps the three best known young men in ''the Bluegrass" and three of the wealthiest. and three of the brightest, and three of the most enterprising, and live in three coun- ties all close together, yet in friend ship they are as were Damon and Pythias, and instead of being jealous of one another and trying to pull one another down, they are working shoul- der to shoulder like three brethren, making common cause in placing Ken lucky in the front rank of industrial

No. l covered the old secretary's shoulders with the threadbaTe and stained S:a cloak which had gone through the pcninsu

The process continued for a minute or two and the old man was nearly stifed, but only impregnated. Then No. 5, from decanter in hand, poured out glass of water, of which the general took hearty gulp, rinsed his mouth out and spat 1t out on the carpeted floor {; then he threw of his cloak, seized his papers and letters from No. 4 and rushed steamiDg into the kings pres ence e the various clocks struck the half- honr.

are sent forth hence to all the world :: but few of even the most intelligent are aware that this Piedmont end of "the Bluegrass" is about to have a town that will be another Kansas City, and, mayhap, an improvement on Birmingham "to boot" In fact, if you, my money craving reader, could have heard what John R. Proctor told me the other day, and could have seen the samples that he showed me, you would want to strike for Winchester on the very next train-and John k. Proctor is state geologist of Kentucky and man of national reputation alike in circles scientific and industrial.
 The "livest" man in Winchester to- day is Thomas G. Stuart, whom first knew when he was a struggling country editor. Afterwards, when he got to be one of the leaders of the Kentucky legislature, though one of its very youngest members, l became better acquainted with him, and in course of time got to be his friend |; and now that he is rich and prosper ous-well, now, am going to put his picture in THE ARKANsAw TRAVELLER.

Where would I rather live if had my pick of all the places in the wide, wide world? Right here in the Ken lucky Bluegrass, "and that by large majority" And as soon as enough people find out what are the attrac- tions offered by the region hereabout, they are going to come here, and that by the tens of thousands. Lest you yourself, MT. Reader, should happen not to know exactly what and where "The Bluegrass" is, will remark that it is an elevated, undulating plain, stretching from the Appalachian foot hills, just east of Winchester, west wardly close down to Louisville-a region, by the special favor of the AL mighty in His work of world-crea- tion, whose soil and air and water and woods and grass, and know not what all else, were so fashioned and en- dowed as to produce, among other excellent things, the tahest, bravest men and the fairest, purest women to be found on a like area this side oi heaven.
